Fleet Europe Remarketing Forum 2016: Programme completed, impressive speakers list
Remarketing a vehicle is the last element of its first life-cycle, and therefore often overlooked. Yet it is a crucial – if complex – ingredient of the total cost of your fleet. Whether or not you manage to use the intricacies of the remarketing process to your advantage can mean the difference between success and failure of your fleet policy. With the programme for the Remarketing Forum completed, an impressive list of themes and speakers is now confirmed. The one-day event on 15 November at the Catalunya Congress Center in Barcelona will comprise six themed sessions - Follow the 2016 Fleet Europe Remarketing Forum on this website, via the Remarketing page of Fleet Europe on LinkedIn, and via Twitter @FleetEurope with the hashtag #RemarketingForum.
